Principal themes and objectives

The Ascona Meetings on Neuronal Circuits have been a leading forum on neuronal circuit research worldwide for more than a decade. The Ascona 2019 Neuronal Circuits Meeting will feature neuronal circuit research in a broad range of organisms including humans. It will present work on how specific neuronal circuits encode information and drive behavior, on how brain systems interact to produce specific functions, on the developmental and genetic basis of circuit function, on circuit function in social behaviors, on the function of neuromodulatory systems in animal behavior, and on how circuit adjustments and brain states influence learning and behavior.
